Writer’s Workshop–Students have been doing some brainstorming about their favorite food. We are working on using powerful language with adjectives and verbs.
Math–We have started the unit on Fractions. Students are learning about different ways to represent fractions, including on a number line. We will be doing various activities using models of fractions. We will then move on to finding equivalent fractions.

Have a great week!!
